I have this problem also - contacts and calendar are on my work PC and in lieu of exchange integration, I would like to keep these all in sync.

I understand some third party tools try to replace this functionality and despite the fact I have never found any to do the full job, I also should note that Vanillain 2.0 (non-SenseUI ROM) did the job of syncing with HTC Sync just fine - so it can't be the lack of Sense which has removed this.

Is the removal of HTC Sync integration a caveat of Froyo?

Nonetheless, thanks for the hard work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
HTC Sync ONLY works with HTC Sense based ROMs. That means that everything that does not have Sense is not compatible with HTC Sync.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ldawidss:
thanks,

5.19 that on 720 oc i suppose?

I actually only use overclock for performance boost but most of the time i have 180 for the screen off and 528 for screen on, that way 2 days on battery instead of one .... or 4 hours of internet instead of 2 :D

Maybe you could add the version number to the info in updater?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] projectdm:
Thanks, I understand. I guess HTC Sync must have worked on SuperHero 2 as although it is stripped down, it is still based on HTC Sense.

We have a 5.2 now at http://twitpic.com/26zgxo :)

That gives the details of the speeds etc. I can get high 5.1s at 729 as well :) As I don't tend to run mine as high as that, or battery drops a bit.

Sorry for the Noob questions, I really have tried to find the answers for myself but here goes:

I'll be travelling around Europe for the next week and a bit and was wondering if this ROM will be stable enough for this purpose or should I roll back to VillainROM 12?

Which Radio ROM should I be running with 2.2 (assuming it's stable enough for this jaunt) or 12. keeping in mind my phone is Orange branded (seem to recall reading latest radio roms have issue with these devices?)

Thanks,

CM

p.s. Admin, if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move.

WiFi hotspot and network

Anyone having trouble locating their wireless network when searching for networks with WiFi? I have been using VillainRom Release 12 for awhile now and it could always find and connect to my homes WiFi, but for some reason FroydVillain cannot find my home network. (no alterations to router settings have been made since I've been using VillainRom release 12)

Also, where are the settings for WiFi hotspot? (a stock feature of 2.2)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Personally, I would be perfectly happy to use this ROM. Carry a nandroid of VR12 that is all set up though, and you should be fine. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] circuitmonkey:
Ok, Cool

Good advice on the nandroid, not been doing this so far, but not a bad shout.

Am already running FroydVillain and don't have time to go back to VR12 just to make a backup.

Will this pick up the APN settings for the various networks around Switzerland, France?

the interface is great but villainrom 12 is far way better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lam3010:
it's support chinese? thank you X)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Does anybody know when Sense UI will be supported? Will the future Desire 2.2 roms get ported over to the hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Unlikely. When Legend or MT3G slide gets 2.2 with Sense, then the fun begins :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Legend roms will be a lot easier to port, sense will eventually get ported over but it will never be completely stable.

Sense on hero 2.1 was not stable until after we had a leak to work with (no ports were ever 100%).

It will be some time before you have a usable sense 2.2 rom on hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:

Hi, quick question: does anyone know if it's possible to calibrate the keyboard in this ROM? Can't find it anywhere and my fat fingers are causing me problems!!!

Also the auto dictionary doesn't pick up on a huge amount of words, I've been through the thread and saw someone mentioning 'dictionary' problems but I can't find the specific problem.

If anyone can help i'd appreciate it, still really loving this ROM though, so many great features I keep finding...:-)

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stormfury_2:
Cheers for the quick reply Lenny :]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Great job!!!

Hi, just wanted to tell you that now I am using this ROM since today morning and it is just working great. The camera is anyway just a 'nice to have' feature on these machines for me. So, thanks a lot :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
can't calibrate this one afaik

dictionary should be sorted in next update

glad you like it

no problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
Can't wait for the next update then, with this nice kernel of yours :)

I know about your new "don't give an ETA" policy, but an advancement estimation? Almost done? still some work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zerodi:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
I genuinely think everyone should try swiftkey beta its a touch keyboard that actually predicts what your next word will be and is surprisingly accurate!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
my findings so far

I'm new to ROM flashing and this is actually the 1st ROM I've tried and I quite like it so far, except from some little bugs.

So here are my findings:

1- Image gallery only work in portrait, doesn't work when rotating

2- Camera obviously

3- Trackball light isn't working

4- when choosing a contact, I use to be able to send an SMS directly from there, I don't see any links there anymore.

4- and at last, it might be related to Froyo but I find that calendar events poping up are not too obvious on that platform (which they are with HTC sense), so missing a calendar is very easy (also because the trackball isn't lighting up)

If these could be fixed, that would be so neat!!!

As for the rest upgrading from Telus default Android 1.5 to this is so much faster. Very good ROM in general, seems to be stable too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
I installed this ROM almost 20 hours ago and so far so good no FC and no Lags, battery has also been very good.Played around the phone for whole day and still left with 47%. However during the use I found few things missing as compared to regular use of VR12.

1. No Incoming Call Slider or Soft Key at all. (All calls to be answered via hard keys)

2. No Sim Tools (Can't use the major sim features and even STK)

3. Track Ball leds sometimes works for SMS alert and sometimes becomes totally idle.

4. Notification light is Green instead of being red while charging whereas battery is on charging and status is 98%.

5. Gallery opens up but thumbs take ages to build up.

6. Camera Crashes (usual)

7. Just a suggestion not problem, default dialer is not mature instead dialer one much fast and responsive in terms of dialing as well in terms of finding the correct person.

I shall let u know when I find anything else.

However a great effort and great work. Appreciation for taking an idea to functinal reality. Best of luck for future as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
2. I'll look at this.

4. This appears to be stock behaviour. It indicates red for below 90%, and green for above.

5. Not sure. Have you tried the gallery fix posted on the site?

6. Known.

7. Maybe. but we prefer not to include market apps, as you don't get update notifications for these from the market. If you want a dialer, try that one you said, or nubdial :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] midoriconcept:
I see some requests for specific programs to be in the rom instead of stock ones (e.g. dialer one or htc keyboard). Please don't do that! I really love the vanilla keyboard and prefer in general vanilla to Sense and other non standard solutions.

Give the option for additional stuff, but please leave this rom as "clean" as possible!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
4. Well I have been using VR12 and Indicator light remain Red till the battery turned full and Indicator became Green.

5. I tried but still not luck :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Hmmz, anyone got a quick tutorial on how to flash my device? lol :-)

Also how can i install a dutch dictionary after installing this?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
one free market app I tried for a gallery is multi-touch gallery (by b&b software). it's really fast, not 3d, and works with froyo great. you have to choose folders once at first start but otherwise it's simple to setup and use.

far FAR FAR superior to gallery3d under any vanilla rom I've used (always has thumbnail issues and mostly has rotation issues).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, stock as in a Froyo, behaviour not eclair (2.1) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
Any chance of putting asian languages in there? I like this rom a lot, but I cannot use this rom anymore due to unable to display Chinese characters, now back to modaco 2.1 rom.

I just have to say, the new radio really made my phone go crazy, got wakeup issues after installing it among other thing, before that the rom was great :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
As much as I love this ROM, I am very reluctantly rolling back to my previous 2.1 backup for now. I cannot give any indication as to why this is happening as it is seemingly random, but I am experiencing random slowdowns where my phone becomes literally unusable. Leaving it long enough, it eventually reboots.

It's very frustrating as I cannot figure out what is causing it. Since no one else has reported similar in this thread, perhaps it is one of the apps I am using.

I'll certainly give the next version of Froyd a shot. I'm going to miss 2.2.

On another note, I use Pure Calendar Widget. One of the options is to use "Google Calendar for 2.2". When I select this option, it tells me that it is not installed. I figured that being Froyo, it would be. What gives?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pinback!:
First of all, well done teamvillain, ive been a big fan and surporter of all your releases. Just one thing about this rom... i cant seem to find the option where i can choose to only use wcdma/3g/hsdpa. I use that option quite alot... especially when i tether. Can someone pls give me good news and tell me im overlooking it... otherwise ill be back to good old reliable villainrom 12.

No idea what option thing you mean. Do you mean Menu | Settings | Wireless Networks?

Anyway, I haven't a clue about what you're on about tbh. Do you mean the app Droidwall?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. Either it's an app, or you've restored some kind of application settings or data that shouldn't be restored between ROMs. If you did that, try again without restoring anything except apps. And ideally start from fresh and add apps only as required, and see how it goes.

Or come onto IRC to get the OC kernek which has some fixes there too :)

Yes... menu/settings/wireless networks.... u then get an option to choose wcdma only, gsm only or auto gsm/wcdma.

'Pure Grid Calendar' caused dramatic slowdown for me in both 2.1 (Kimera) and in 2.2 Fusion!Rom.

Today I experienced an unexpected reboot, and the phone was unusable until I pulled out the battery. To clarify, I haven't installed 'Pure Grid Calendar' in this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Flashed this earlier today and like it very much. Everything working (other then things that are already identified)

Watching my battery as it appears to have drained to quickly. 15% over 3o mins. It was already down to 20 % before I started to time it.

Have fully charged it and will keep an eye on it.

Great Job.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
So far loving this rom. I do experience the random slowdowns at time, but the phone seems to work just fine after a little bit. I am too reluctant to go back to 2.1. 2.2 offers too many tweaks, including built in exchange calendar sync!

Great work. Look forward to this maturing.

...

I've tried to do what you said with the gallery3D.apk by removing it and copying the other file but I can't seem to have the permission to do so. I've tried "File Manager" and also "Astro File Manager" without any success...So what would be the proper steps to make that gallery3D working?

Previous quote from the other page:

As one said, there is gallery3D.apk.

What I've done :

- Clean gallery cache (in Settings/Application)

- Delete gallery3D.apk

- Move gallery.apk to /system/app/

- Reboot

- Seems to work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
Actually nevermind the last post, I found out how to push the file into the system/app folder by using adb

host$ adb shell

hero$ su

hero# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

hero# rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk

hero# cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk

hero# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and then rebooted the phone, though it works great the 1st rotate but after that it start doing the funny display again even if I previously cleaned the cache too :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattbeighton:
When I installed this last night it worked the other way, the first time was still crappy and I thought "here we go" but after that every rotation has been fine.

Ah, well remembered :) http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=2160&hilit=facebook#p21779
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Use an application like juice plotter to work out when and why its draining. I have had no issues with this rom at all (not noticeably anyway).

Usually the biggest culprits for battery drain are:

- rebooting (you can lose up to 5% a time)

- low signal

- low signal with 3g turned on especially!!

- wifi on when not connected to anything

But rebooting is the big one! so after flashing a rom, and while setting everything up battery will drain faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itscro:
It would appear that I spoke to soon, I'm having these seem issues too. Oh well, I'll give the buildprop method a go.

I seem to remember this problem existing in the early release of VanillaEclair 4 too.

Otherwise excellent rom though, really fast. Out of curiosity, what benefits will the IRC kernel mentioned earlier bring? Working OC?

Thank you dev's for an Awesome rom! Fast, snappy, great :)

I'm trying to get Facebook Sync working, I've looked at villainrom.co.uk forums, and the only fix that seems to be working properly is the build.hero.prop-fix.

Unfortunately I can't use adb on my laptop. Is it possible to do the fix straight from my phone? Terminal Emulator?

I tried to set permissions for writing the file with vi by chmodding as root, but it won't let me. I guess I'd have to remount it, but I'm a bit stupid with terminals so I don't know the right commands. Anyone? Help would be much apperciated ;)
